I strongly dislike working at home but love the flexibility of a remote job. In fact I wish the remote working community would adopt a different philosophy, less focused on work from anywhere and more on create an office anywhere. As in, you can make any space into a work space, but every space doesn’t become a workspace automatically. Without a change of location, the day seems become an amorphous unorganized mess.
My ideal set up is a small private office about 5-10 minutes walk from home, preferably with a cafe and gym on the way.
Yup. People fixate on the 'from home' bit for some unfathomable reason. It's not about home, it's about not being bound to some arbitrary building, and the same applies to their home.
